Members shoepatcher Posted February 10, 2018 Members Report Posted February 10, 2018 Anyone have experience with THOR sewing machines out of Texas??? glenn Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 I have seen them advertised on Dallas Craigslist, but that is the extent of my knowledge. They may be as good as any of the clones, but I don't know Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Mark842 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 Looking at their website it looks like the Thor GA 441 is basically the same clone of the Juki 441 you can get from several different places. Looking at different things on the machine though, it does not appear to have been set up to sew leather as good as it could be. Price looks to be on target. If you can check how they are on customer service it might be worth it as it looks like your close and it would save you on shipping. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 Also, if you are looking in the Dallas area solar leather machines is a cowboy distributor. Alexander has been on this site several times helping new machiners. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later....

Members R8R Posted February 11, 2018 Members Report Posted February 11, 2018 You posted the same question multiple times on separate threads. People are answering this on another thread you started, no need to keep posting the same question over and over. Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted February 11, 2018 Members Report Posted February 11, 2018 That Thor machine is probably the same basic machine as a Cowboy or Cobra, BUT... It does not have the speed reducer and extra large fly wheel of the Cobras and Cowboys to give it that extra power to sew through thick leather slowly and control the needle position with the foot pedal. It also does not come with the nice adjustable height stand with casters. Those two features alone make the Cowboy and Cobras a much better deal in my opinion. Not saying there is anything wrong with the Thor though. Quote
